13. King county has an average life expectancy of 81.8 years, slightly higher than that of the US at large. Regions with low life expectancy could be largely made up of ethnic groups with equally low-life expectancies. Low poverty groups have easy access to healthcare, which explains their high life expectancy.
14. High household income equates to a higher life expectancy because of issues such as accessible healthcare, better nutrition, and high literacy levels, among others. For instance, Asians have the highest household income, and ranks second in life expectancy. Low income groups, on the other hand, have a lower life expectancy. Additionally, high income groups have more social security, which ensures that their older years are covered on issues like preventing and treating chronic diseases occurring in old age. Other minor factors like stress in low-income groups may also contribute to low life expectancy.
